Movie Review
Madhavan has portrayed the vicious character perfectly and holds the audience throughout. Ajay Devgn has yet again delivered a powerful performance of a protective family, and Jyotika has played her part well. Janki needs to be applauded for her indubitable performance as a teenager under an evil spell.
The 2-hour 12-minute movie maintains a good pace as the horror unfolds. The atmosphere created by the antagonist and his sinister games, makes the movie gripping throughout although at times it becomes predictable. The movie has already received a rating of 7.6/10 on IMDB.
